    Why MailCopilot?

    AI Assistant Built In

    GTD triage, smart replies, auto-unsubscribe, web search, attachment reading — all out of the box with 3 AI providers.

    Snooze, follow-ups, send & archive, auto-advance, bulk actions — process your entire inbox at speed.

    Connects to Your Tools

    Integrates with Obsidian, task managers, calendars and more through the MCP open standard. Or expose your email for external AI agents.

    Free & Open Source

    Linux, Windows, macOS. Open source under AGPL-3.0 — the full code is on GitHub. No paywall, no hidden fees.

    AI Assistant

    Your email copilot powered by 3 AI providers with 45 MCP tools, GTD triage, and persistent memory.

    3 AI Providers

    Anthropic Claude, OpenAI (+ OpenRouter, Azure, LiteLLM), Google Gemini — or a local model like Ollama via any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own key, with daily, monthly, and per-request budgets.

    GTD Email Triage

    AI classifies every email: archive, quick reply, delegate + follow-up, snooze, flag, or read later. Process your inbox the GTD way.

    45 MCP Tools

    Summarize, draft, send, archive, move, unsubscribe, search mail, SQL queries on cache — the AI operates your mailbox with precision.

    Smart Compose

    Instant Reply drafts plus one-click rewrites — improve, shorten, make formal, fix grammar — with a diff preview before anything changes.

    Thread Summaries

    An automatic AI summary above long conversations so you catch up in seconds. Opt-in per account.

    Attachment Reading

    AI reads PDFs (including scans), images, and text files attached to emails for full-context understanding.

    Persistent Memory

    AI remembers your preferences, writing style, and context across sessions with a built-in memory editor.

    Web Search

    AI searches the internet to find relevant information for composing informed replies.

    Chat Sessions

    Persistent chat history with multiple sessions. Switch between conversations and pick up where you left off.

    MCP Ecosystem

    Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. MailCopilot supports both client and server roles.

    MCP Client

    Connect external MCP servers — Obsidian, task managers, calendars, custom tools. Supports HTTP and stdio transports.

    MCP Server

    Expose your email tools for Claude Code, Obsidian AI, and other agents. Bearer auth, read-only by default, tool whitelist.

    How It Works

    1

    Connect Your Accounts

    Add accounts via IMAP/SMTP, or sign in to Gmail and Outlook with OAuth2. Auto-configuration recognizes popular providers — Yahoo, iCloud, and more.

    2

    Triage in Unified Inbox

    See all your mail in one place. Filter, search, and bulk-process effortlessly.

    3

    Work Smarter with AI

    Compose with hotkeys, snooze emails, set follow-up reminders, and let AI triage your inbox by GTD, draft replies, and auto-unsubscribe from newsletters.

    Security & Privacy

    Your data stays on your machine. MailCopilot is designed with privacy-first principles.

    Local Data Storage

    Metadata and cache stored locally — nothing leaves your device unless you send it.

    Encrypted Secrets

    Account credentials secured via OS keychain (keytar).

    Sandboxed Rendering

    HTML emails rendered in sandbox with DOMPurify sanitization.

    Tracker & Link Protection

    External images blocked by default. Suspicious links detected, flagged, and auto-unsubscribe via RFC 8058.

    Secure Image Loading

    Built-in image proxy with SSRF protection for safe loading of external images.

    TLS Certificate Pinning

    Pin TLS certificates for your mail servers in the UI. Detect MITM attacks on email connections.

    AI Guardrails

    The AI can never send, delete, or move mail without your explicit confirmation — every action is preview-first. Internet access for the AI is off by default, with prompt-injection defense and rate limiting.

    AI Audit Log

    Every AI action is recorded — provider, model, tool, and cost — with JSON/CSV export in the Privacy & Audit panel.

    Opt-in Telemetry

    Nothing is collected without consent: telemetry asks on first launch and never includes message content, addresses, or search queries.

    Roadmap

    Honest development — here's what's next.

    Calendar (CalDAV)

    In progress

    Invite cards with RSVP (accept / tentative / decline) already work. Full CalDAV calendar sync is next.

    Mobile App

    Planned

    Native mobile app for iOS and Android with offline support.

    E2E Encryption (PGP/S/MIME)

    Planned

    End-to-end encryption for emails using PGP and S/MIME standards.
